Courgette, Halloumi, and Caper Salad

Good Pair Days (Roos Michels) -
  • 10 baby courgettes, halved lengthways
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 225g halloumi, thinly sliced
  • For the Dressing
  • 1 red chilli, chopped
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1 crushed garlic clove
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Make the dressing by mixing the ingredients in a bowl, adding a pinch of salt and a small splash of water, mixing and setting aside. Put the courgettes in a bowl and drizzle with oil, add a pinch of salt and toss well. Heat up the griddle and add the courgettes - cut-side down - for 5 minutes or until nicely char-lined. Flip over, and cook for another 3 mins, then set aside to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, cook the halloumi in a non-stick pan until golden on both sides. When ready, arrange the halloumi and courgettes on a large platter, and spoon over the dressing.
